Associate Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Scientist interested in microbiome in cancer and women’s health. Thoughts are my own.
Ellie started her research journey during her undergrad days in my lab for a R25 NIH funded research experience, and graduated today with her Master’s degree! #ProudPI@WakeCancer

6th time is the charm! Happy to share that this re-re-resubmitted R01 on understanding the impact of microbial-derived metabolites on obesity-mediated #breastcancer received a 3%!!!!!! @WakeCancer@wakeforestmed
@AACR#AACR25 amazing session on immunometabolism and metabolic fitness. Obesity and weight loss influences on immune reprogramming in cancer. @JeffRathmell
The best part of running #microbiome clinical trials are the amazing patients! Their sense of humor is on point…Got this gem with a fecal sample in the mail. Thank you to all those participating. @WakeCancer@KatherineAnsley
Congratulations to Terry @WakeMCB in @oncoscientist lab for 🥈and Kenysha @WakeIPP in my lab for 🥉place awards for graduate student presentations at @WakeSurgEd Surgical Science Research Day. Mohamed in my lab also won 🥉in the fellow category! @wakeforestmed
Thank you to the meeting organizers @costas_koumenis @swr_sws for the invitation to talk about our group’s @wakeforestmed@WakeCancer work on #microbiome and #BreastCancer @tmcs_2024 Great science, good food, and a beautiful location in Cyprus. See you next time!
Great job Debra (our undergraduate summer intern from @ncatsuaggies) on her poster looking at tissue specific MAMP and #BreastCancer as part of the @NCIResearchCtr R25 summer program at @wakeforestmed Mentored by postdoc Dr. Gaber.
And just like that, the summer program is wrapping up! Thank you to our amazing undergrad summer students Debra, Ellie, and Ashely. @wakeforestmed@WakeCancer
